Today, the United States had 23,000 new cases of COVID-19.

Canada has 48,000 - total. Since this whole thing began.

America is now adding PER DAY almost 50% of the TOTAL number of Canadian cases.

Heck of a job, Trumpie.

to US population would be 442,000 US cases at the same Canadian infection rate

But the US is more than double that - over 1,000,000 cases.

It could also be argued that the Canadian infection rate has been worsened by having it's neighbor run by Trump who doing such a poor job of handling the virus.

It's not like we are going to see a decrease with the guinea pig states going for reopening.

Republicans reside over: guinea pigs, welfare states that, by comparison are now proving to also be the worst states in a crisis. It's not that I have anything against the people who live there, per se. It is up to them to see this and realize that, "Oh my goodness, I have been voting against my better interests ALL THIS TIME?"

Who likes to be proven wrong? They have been proven wrong. Now its a matter of health; life and death is the bottom-line.
